Over to you Australia.
Former Wallabies coach Eddie Jones came back to haunt his old team with a historic first Test win for England at Suncorp Stadium on Saturday.
Jones's tourists not only picked up just their fourth win in Australia and first in Brisbane, their haul of 39 points was the most by England against the Wallabies.
Obviously delighted with the 11-point win, Jones says the Wallabies are the ones under the spotlight going into next weekend's second Test in Melbourne.
"There's a lot of expectation about the Wallaby team," Jones said.
"They've come back as the second-placed team in the world.
"They've got the world's best coach and the expectation's high for them. The pressure's on them next week."
England will travel south in a buoyant mood but Jones says if his team is to secure a series win they'll need to improve.
Australia raced to a 10-0 lead after a fast start and came home with a wet sail after being outmuscled by the tourists in the middle section of the Test.
With the Wallabies scoring four tries to three, Jones is aware Saturday's result could've been different.
"We're obviously happy with the result but we didn't play well," Jones said.
"We gave the Wallabies some easy tries and need to do some work on our defence.
"We made history today but it's not good enough for us. All we've done is given ourselves one more game in the series.
"We go to Melbourne and it's the most important game now."
Jones helped swing the momentum with an early tactical switch, bringing off Luther Burrell and throwing on five-eighth George Ford, who had been dropped from England's starting line-up.
It paid dividends as Ford helped reorganise England's leaky defence, and he later played the killer pass for Marland Yarde's crucial try early in the second half that gave the tourists some much-needed breathing space.
"I just needed to change the game. There are times you do just do things through a gut feeling," Jones said.
